Summary: A Must See
Review: When this movie was featured at the theaters, I was not too excited to see it. While I was shopping for movies, I came across this movie on sale. I've been in a buying frenzy as of late, so I thought I would give it a shot. I was blown away by the art and storyline. I have not listened to the commentary yet, but the DVD comes with a variety of neat features like deleted scenes - it was nice to see the before and after look of various scenes. You will not be disappointed in the movie.

Summary: Unfortunate
Review: This movie shows little besides that The Iron Giant was more of an exception than a trend in American animated films. It has little respect for its audience, as it clearly seems to aim squarely for the pre-teen age group. Everything about it seems to scream "MTV". The animation seemed cartoonish and very overstated, in typical American style. The movie seems to have originated from marketeers, interested in targeting a very specific demographic, rather than resulting from any particular inspiration or creative vision.I fear that the most unfortunate aspect of this film is that it will serve to reinforce the public's preconceptions about animation, which I beleive explains why Princess Mononoke did so poorly in the US, despite being a big blockbuster in Japan. I had low expectations for this movie, though not quite low enough.

Summary: Great 3D animation can't make a great movie
Review: This movie has some of the best 3D animation I've ever seen and contains some solid voice acting but after watching this movie for the second time, I finally realized why I didn't think it was great. A critical question is never answered: Why did the Drej attack the earth? I know they make some vague reference in the movie about humanity's potential being a threat to them but what kind of threat could physical beings pose to a race made of energy? Movies that become classics start with a solid plot or premise. This film unfortunately should have had it's main premise "thickened up" before the first character was drawn. The movie is fun to watch if you don't think about it too much. Definitely not a movie for people that need more than visuals.

Summary: Titan AE...The way animation should be
Review: Titan AE is one of the best animated movies ever made. The combination of 2D and 3D animation is terrific. The DVD is packed full of great features, including deleted scenes. The only real problem with these, however, is that the scenes are not totally finished, and some are missing the cgi materials and others are in black and white. However, the DVD as a whole is fantastic and a great buy. While the story is nothing to talk about, it's simplicity is what makes it so great. It's sort of like Star War in that it takes a simple story but makes me enjoyable with great visuals and twists. This is without a doubt the Star Wars of animation and will probably go down as one of the biggest Cult Hits in Animation. The movie as a whole will remind you of a new age version of Heavy Metal, especially with teh rock sound track interwoven within the movie. The only real difference between the two is that Titan is aimed at teenagers and not adults (ie, no foul language or sex). Its also great to see a movie that depuncts the Disney formula of graphic death scenes or sing alongs. My favorite scene in the movie is near the beginning when a character, who looks suspiciously like a cricket, has an unfortunate encounter with the guys (an inside shot at a certain Disney character?).

Summary: overhyped too early
Review: I first saw this trailer when Episode 1 came out and I was very impressed! It seemed like a real blockbuster was coming our way. What I didn't know was that it was an animated feature. While that in itself is not a crime, I guess I was hoping for live-action. This story is pretty typical science fiction. Nothing amazingly original. Some of the animation is very cool. Still, this one got a lot of early hype and I think the animation factor turned people off at the last minute.

Summary: Entertained a bunch of 20-ish year olds :)
Review: I'll keep this short and sweet. I got the DVD after I really enjoyed it in the theater. I'm 25. A few days after I got it a bunch of friends came over and we all watched Titan AE. The youngest one in the group was 20. Most of my friends have short attention spans so I was surprized when they watched this movie all the way through, and even commented that it was an awesome film. Any movie that can do this for a bunch of 20 year olds will totally entertain the younger crowd, and likely the older crowd too. :)

Summary: THE Ultimate DVD
Review: Ok, after walking out of the theater, this movie was on the top of my DVD list. I loved it after watching it the first time and it was even better the second time. Different people watch movies for different reasons, but I think this one does a good job to try and make it interesting for a larger crowd. It's got an interesting storyline, clever jokes, and great action. I personally love the effects and sound. For anyone with a decent sound system, this DVD is a MUST-own. Whenever I go into an electronics store, I expect to find Titan A.E. being shown as a demo because it would be perfect to show of the digital 5.1 channel sound. You will not be dissappointed if sound and effects are your thing.

Summary: Wow
Review: I didnt expect to like this movie that much at all, since it hasnt received anything more than a lukewarm reception from most moviegoers and critics, but I loved it. I loved just about everything about it. The story, the characters, the music and most especially the animation. Amazing images abound in just about every scene. The ending is justifiably uplifting and contrary to Maltin, it is never boring. No, its not an intellectual slugfest, but so what. Star Wars is along that same line. Not every movie needs to be intellectually stimulating in order to be good in the SF community. This is more than just good, though. It is great, a feast for the eyes. I have no doubt that it is gathering a cult following that will grow as the years pass.

Summary: TITANic. Bluth hits asteroid.
Review: What a terrible movie. In the afternoon I saw TITAN and in the evening I saw CHICKEN RUN. Thankfully I saw CR last because it renewed my faith in animation. Titan had me on the ledge. Titan AE started off with promise. The beginning sequence was pretty good. The 2-D and 3-D animation mixed well and the premise was kind of cool. Everything went downhill form there. The writing was poor. The characters were weak. The animation was uninspiring. This movie seemed rushed. I have a feeling Bluth was running out of time and had to put something together fast. I have three huge problems with TITAN AE. 1. The villain: What a horrible character. This guy does 3 huge twists. Unbelievable twists. I won't give anything away. 2. The incredible escape by the main character. How stupid. And of course he makes his way...well I can't ruin this. Hopefully you'll laugh at it as much as I. 3. The aliens are terrible I have more problems, but the main thing is the story is poor, the 2-d and 3-D animation is poor and the effects are really not so good. Bluth is much better at animals and creatures. When he gets to stretch he even does good people, but the characters in Titan, again, are very "blah". If you want some Bluth spend your hard earned money on Secret of Nihm or even the Space Ace and Dragon's Lair DVDs. Even better buy what I think is not only a great animated movie, but a great movie period: IRON GIANT.
